I have one problem with creating 'net.announce'.   Not that it is
being created, but that it is being discussed and announced in
'net.news'.   I would bet that a large majority of the people
who post 'I'm looking for Bob Wombat', 'What is the net
address of the University of New South Wales', or 'Rutgers
Seminar Announcements' to 'net.general' do not read this newsgroup.
Therefore, these people will continue to submit to 'net.general'
and try to submit to 'net.announce' (may not work if everybody is
running 2.10, but everybody is not and probably won't for a while).
